She ateraw meat with much relish; clotheswere di-ajree able to her.Her master had offered her for a!efor six months, nt an exceedingly lowprice, but was unable to sell her.

It is not known whether theyhave a religion; but it is probable theyhave not, from tho very great facultywith which they embrace any that istaught them. It is very difficult tocivilize them, their instinct leadingthem always to search for human flesh;there are examples of slaves who havekilled and then devoured the childrenot their masters who had been confidedto their care. i ,I saw last year a man of the samerace having a (ail one inch and a halflong covered with a few hairs.

Schuylor the Ruined Banker---APeep Behind the Scenes.From the Baltimore American Jan. 27.writer makes the ' following comments upon the fallen fortunes of the celebrated Robert Schuyler: .1 1 pawd the other tlay the splendidmansibrt of Mr. Schuyler, whose' 'stupendous frauds are so well known , Itwas dosed and apparently solitary.thongh his lamily still reside there.What a contrast a few months has apparently made in that familyl Its "loryis dim. Crowds no longer assemble inthe spacious parlors: the coaches ofthe splendid and gay do not line thesidewalks; the brilliant lizhts and thedashing company no longer allure Iheerowd to herd arcund the curb stonealt is solitude. But what a lesson doesthis event teach.Mr. Schuyler had two characters.In business', on 'Change, at hii rooms,in the Astor, he was known as thehigh-minded, honorable, successful,pure-minded man, one of whom wedelighted to honor. Now come withme into ono of the least pretending. . XT i mi itireets in new mm. 1 ins. iiouse isfts unpretending as the street. Mr.Spieer lives here. Let us enter. Mrs.Spicer and a family ot children horn19 years aud under compose the household. It is said to be a singular family. ' Mr. Spicer is a singular man.No one ever sees him. The butcher,the milkman, the landlord dou't knowhim. Mis. Spicer does all the business. Mr. Sjficer comes in late; he goesaway early in the morning.tye is a uusiness man, he lias somuch business that he is never seen inhis family. Remain there day andnight, and you will never see Mi.

It is needful togain the consent of Mr. Spicer that themarriage may take place.A time is appointed and the expectant son-in-law is planed face to lacew ith Mr. Spicer. He is told by thefather himself that his .name i? not Spicer, but is Mr. Schuyler; that the mother of his daughter is not his wife;but ii the daughter is taken in marriage the mother shall be wedded.The double act is consumatcd; theveil is removed, New York is agitated for a moment by the disclosures;an elegant house is taken on Twenty-second strert.and the family is launchedon the wave of fashionable life. Allthe world knows the sequel. Withso rotten a foundation, how could thesuperstructure stand.A Scoundrels.We cut the following from an Eastern exchange, and ask every body toread it. It is one of the best commentsupon a certain style of chanty whichwe have ever seen. If it hits any bodyin this latitude, it is just as well; ilnot, r.o one will have any cause forannoyance. Only read it:Sympathy. "What is the matter,my poor iittle deai'r"' said old' Miserlyto a little girl whom ' he saw in thestreet, poorly clad, and wrpping!"Oh, sir!" said she, sobbing as-her heart would break, "mother is sick,and we have no bread to eat, nor " tireto keep us warm.""Poor, dear thing!

God, in his wrath, sentsquadron of angels to carry away thetomb of Christ, which remains at thismoment suspended in Ihe heavens, andhe commissioned the Czar to avenge thePagan sacrilege. When the ' EmperorNicholas shall enter Jerusalem a conqutror, a, by the aid of heaven he certainly will do, Christ's tomb will be restored to its place.

A more honest and capable of.fleer than Wm. Medill waa never con.nected with the public service, and hisadministration hat fully t indicate J theintelligence of the people of Ohio, whoelected him by such an unprecedentedmajority Suf?na.We copy a portion of the erticls of theTime: . -."IC we accept that other definition,which allows him to be truly great, whoadequately and faithfully dertargbs theduties of every station, however high, orhumble,, that may be assigned . to hiin,then is Governor Medill t great man.In every position to which h has beenelevated by the partiality of his fellowcitizens, he has fully sustained himself.In 1333, when barely eligible: he waschosen a Representative to) she OhioLegislature. Ca taking his seat, he aselected Speaker of that body. In 1335,he was bidlen 'go up higher Ha waselected to the twenty-sixth Congress byan overwhelming majority over the latelamented John M. Creed. II may besaid that the district was a Democraticstrong-hold, and that party disciplinecould effect for Medill what personalmerit could not have don.Yet here a simple tact is suggested.His opponent was a most estimable man,staunch Whig, universally beloved.and still ha fell behind bis ticket Inevery county in the district, while. Medill was propot'iouaUv ahed of the De-mocralic ticket. In 1850, his constituents testified their approval of his conduct by ra electing bun to congress. Ofthe eight Democratic members Irnin Ohiowho outrode the Whig whirlwind ofthat never to-be forgotten year, he recetved by far the heaviest majority. Thejournals of the XlVItb and the XXVlltbCongress show what te did. He wasalways at the right spot at the righttime. His votes on every measure ofvital public interest are recorded. IUvoted for the Independent Treasury,lie voted against the bankrupt law.His votes are recorded against the twoUnited States Bank bills, forced throughCongress In violation of ; repeatedpledges, and which were vetoed by MrTyler. He voted against each and al!those scoundrelly bills which pretend tofoster labor by taxing it. His record isfrank, bold, and manly a very different one from that of hi. pi-b.U opponents of 1853, who are so utterly deadto every bave. and noble impulse as toexult in secrecy, in darkness, and inA'note Kolhinelsm."i he Register, with that total disregard for truth which runs through thearticle, insinuates that Qorernor Medi IIis a 'betwixt and between sort of amar, in general.' We have reached apeiiod in the political career of Governor Medill, when he made a nobler sacrifice for Right, than ever entered intothe conception of all the Stimaon tribe,from the days of Noah until now. During the Congressional canvass of 1843,he deliberately imperiled his re-electionto Congress by avowing himself a hardmoney man. He was defeated, and hadhe made the slightest conncession on thecurrency question, his election wouldhave been doubly sure. Such a creatureas the editor of the "Register"shotid besilent concerning men tike Medill.They are above his sphere."In 1845, Colonel Medill was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs uu-der President Polk, His bitterest enemies even the woe-begone wight of theRegister', can not deny that he filled that important post with credit andusefulness. In 1850. he wa, withoutpersonal solicitation, chosen a delegateto the Ohio Constitutional Convention.When that assembly the ablest everconvened in the State met; he: wascalled to preside over its deliberations;How he couducteJ himself during itslong and stormy session how his services were esteemed by those to whomthey were rendered, and who could bestappreciate their value, Mr. Slimson maylearn from the very full Reports, published officially especialy from the reported proceedings of the las' day uf thesession. We presume that he, at present, knows nothing about it. '"In 1851, Colonel Medill waa chosenLieutenant Governor uf Ohio, by a majority of 30,000 votes. In 1353,' he waselected Governor by a plurality, that bewildered friend and foe. (We have anindistinct recollection that Mr. Slimsonwho hates office-seekers so rruch-wasat that very time a candidate for. theOhio Senate, in a district reliably Whigby more than 1,000 majority, and wasbeaten by Lewis Anderson to the tune of570 votes! 'Tell it not Gsth.' &c, &c,Oh, how ungrateful these vile Republicsare!"And as the Executlvn of Ohio, Gov.Medill has conducted himself with a degree of prudence and firmness that showhim to' be emphatically a witeruler. Wechallange Rodney M. Stimson, with allhis malignity, to point to one ojjicialtransaction of Gov, Medill that does notfully comport with the station he fills,and the upright, honorable mail.''. '-"Mr. Stimson has something to sayabout politicians. The style with which,he has clothed his ideas, shows that theyare cleat as mud.- There are two Sortsof politicians: the self-sacrificing, public spirited man, and '.he trimmer. Butfor the philanthropic labors of the former, mankind had still been barbarians.But for all-corrupting influence of thelatter, the Utopian dream of Sir ThomasMoore would, long siace, have becomereality. That Governor Medill iabheofthose who engage' in political pursuitsfor the sake oi pecuniary gain, is abio.lutely not true, as the whole tenorhis life demonstrates..J'The kiatato editor of tha , 'Register"ought ta know, that fba devoiloa of timeand taleot ttf the; public setVf?e"Tloetnot Include theMdea'pfa Tratfe., Adopting his pewter-sbop notions,, ,wej mayset down Fisher Ames, John Hancock,Samuel Adams, Timothy Pit MAT" J anMarshall, Daniel Webster, end a host ofillustrious men who shed Imperishableg'ory around-the Conservative 'varty,as political tradesmen!
